[slackware-security]  mcabber (SSA:2017-082-01)

New mcabber packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current
to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mcabber-1.0.5-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes a security issue:
  An incorrect implementation of XEP-0280: Message Carbons in multiple XMPP
  clients allows a remote attacker to impersonate any user, including
  contacts, in the vulnerable application's display.  This allows for various
  kinds of social engineering attacks.
  For more information, see:
    https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-5604
  (* Security fix *)
